Lovely childminder near Peckham library


Macsen

Recommended Posts

I would like to recommend our childminder, Jackie, who lives near Peckham library.


My son has been with Jackie for almost 18 months now, and is thriving. She has provided us with a loving home away from home, and he is usually out of the pushchair and into the playroom as soon as we get to her house. Sometimes he?s so busy playing that he barely has time to say goodbye when I leave, and on the odd morning that he?s more clingy, she always finds a way to distract him. They do lots of reading, painting and drawing, walks to the park if the weather?s not too bad, and she has a wide selection of toys to play with. She has a nice size garden where they play all summer, and she cooks a hot lunch every day.


Having grown up going to nurseries myself, I?d assumed that was what I wanted for my son, but I haven?t found any that can provide the level of care and nurturing (at an affordable price) that Jackie does.


I know some don?t like childminders doing school run, but for us it has been an added bonus, as my son loves it when he gets to play with older children. Not to mention the opportunity it offers to look at the trains?


We are very grateful to have found Jackie from another parent?s recommendation here on the forum, and are pleased to recommend her in turn. Please follow the link below for Jackie's own listing or PM me for more info.

    • Whilst I agree to some extent,  are they going to have some kind of checkpoint?  I can't see how this could work in practice. Surely Southwark residents go to these places quite frequently as well, particularly Tate Modern?  Will we have to take proof of residency every time we go out? What happens when family are with us who don't live in Southwark? Will other London boroughs start doing the same thing? Will Southwark residents be charged a tourist tax to visit "tourist attractions" in other areas, eg the V&A and the British Museum?
    • A shout out for Mark, owner of Pure Plumbers. 07970 971510 They're well established in the Sevenoaks area, but have recently started doing more work in SE London.  Did some v quick and efficient bathroom and boiler fixes for me; have also seen some of the bathrooms he's built, which have a nice attention to detail.

    • Totally agree regarding not supporting chains. Gail’s was fine but last time I went in Feb this year, actually walked out Fayetteville looking at menu and waiting 15 minutes to even get glass of water and not busy at all. Staff gone down hill - sooner it goes the better… Always prefer to support non chains - so many lovely places with good food to choose from with pleasant staff who know about customer service and sadly, non English which says a lot for our culture, pubs are also becoming abit of a hit and miss affair but maybe just unlucky. At the end of the day all about the chef. Still abit unclear where new place is located - is it down the road from Goose Green where parade of shops are before Peckham Rye?  
    • Surely only where the local businesses offer clear advantages, otherwise you are rewarding what should be failure. I want to be served by a better bakery than Gail's, not a worse but local independent one. Certainly give a local independent some time to get the offer right, but don't buy goods which are worse and or more expensive just because the outlet isn't a chain.
